Configuring Auto Refresh in Stories

You can schedule all charts, tables, and geomaps to automatically refresh in a story.

Context

You set the auto refresh option when editing a story, but the refresh only occurs when you are viewing the story.

Procedure

  1. In your story, select Edit mode.
  2. From Data section on the story toolbar main menu, select (Refresh) and then select Configure Auto Refresh.
  3. On the Configure Auto Refresh screen, select the Enable Auto Refresh option.
  4. Enter a numerical value and select the type of interval (for example, minutes).

    For example, you can select the data to refresh every 30 minutes.

    Note

    The auto refresh interval should be shorter than the session timeout value.

  5. To confirm your changes, select OK.

Results

When you have the browser tab open that contains your story, your data is automatically refreshed at the specified time interval.

Note

If auto refreshing is turned on but can't retrieve a data response for 5 consecutive time intervals, auto refresh will be forced to stop.
